McKinsey & Company Bain & Company Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Accenture Kearney PwC lots being said about you all here, including comments and thoughts from me also. Would love to hear all of your views.

Partners/Consultants who can genuinely create revenue are worth their weight in gold. Think of the math(s). A top performer creates $5m in revenue at a modest 40% margin are creating $2m. These companies are valued at ~15x ebitda so that $2m is adding $30m in value. Find them and reward them I say.

The major consulting firms are finalising their hiring plans for the post-summer period, and the direction of travel is heavily towards the pursuit of Senior Partners who can generate revenue. Competition for such talent is only going to increase, driving up Partner pay across geographical regions. Coupled with this, the expectation is for successful Partners to operate with smaller teams and be more hands-on with clients. In this context, to maintain competitiveness in terms of compensation levels, firms are moving away from the traditional consulting pyramid and towards leaner models. What has become clear to us over the past few weeks is that consulting firms believe the need for strong, commercially minded, client-relationship holders is more crucial than ever. It is intriguing to see different firms' approaches to winning in this regard, as well as the varying degrees of willingness to invest.

🔍 Curious about the nuances between Management Consulting and Advisory? As a seasoned professional, I've fielded this question countless times. Let's dive in: 🛠️ Management Consulting: • Problem-focused: Clients identify issues, consultants craft solutions • Short-term engagements • Broad industry expertise • Example: Airline asks, "Which route maximizes profit?" Consultant analyzes data, recommends action. 🌐 Advisory: • Clarity-driven: Clients sense challenges, advisors illuminate specifics • Long-term, relationship-based partnerships • Deep domain knowledge • Example: Airline anticipates regulatory hurdles in new market. Advisors identify risks, suggest mitigation strategies. 💡 Shared Traits: • External perspective • Recommendation-focused (not implementation) • Empower informed decision-making ⚖️ Career Crossroads: Consulting or Advisory? Consider: 1. Long-term aspirations 2. Work-life balance preferences 3. Short-term compensation priorities 🎯 Your Turn: Comment with your target firm (e.g., Deloitte Advisory, McKinsey Consulting) and goal (interview, case prep). I'll share tailored resources to boost your chances. Remember: Your choice shapes your career trajectory.
